Warren Elsmore who claims his official job title to be a ‘freelance lego artist’ crafted the miniature version of the Olympic venue using 250,000 bricks.

This lego world features all the standout venues and structures: from Anish Kapoor’s Orbit, to the swooping roof of the Aquatics Centre and, of course, the grand Olympic Stadium.

Elsmore, who lives in Edinburgh and creates unique, one-off lego models for individuals and corporate companies said: “My colleague and I built the Olympic model over a three week period. For this display, I planned very little in advance and most of the model was free built - simply by looking at pictures of the site and building what I see.

“Every brick we use is a standard lego element, with no painting, gluing or non-lego parts.” –WO
